Edible Plants of Hooper Bay

This collection of edible plants was a project that Hooper Bay Upward Bound students worked on as part of their Autumn schedule of activities. It has been a project undertaken with a fair amount of difficulty both during its field work phase and especially in the translation of the tapes from the original Yup’ik to English. Those who have studied Yup’ik will understand the work involved since the organization of the language is so completely different from that of English.

In offering this small work, we hope young people with whom we share it will gain a greater appreciation for the immense richness of the flora of the Yukon Delta area and for the Yup’ik way of life which depends so much on the bounty found here.
